7. GENRE RELATED TO OUR PRODUCTION
R&B
• AS PART OF OUR AS COURSE WORK WE HAVE DECIDED TO PRODUCE OUR OWN R&B MAGAZINE, WE ARE DOING THIS
BECAUSE IT IS THE ONE MOST IN TOUCH WITH OUR PERSONAL TASTES IN MUSIC SO WE CAN RELATE TO IT MORE.
• THE TARGET AUDIENCE OF OUR MAGAZINE WILL BE AIMED AT 13-25 YEAR OLDS , THEORETICALLY THIS IS BECAUSE OF
THE EXPLICIT LYRICS IN SOME OF THE ARTISTS SONGS. A LARGE PROPORTION OF THE TARGET AUDIENCE WILL BE FEMALE
THIS IS BECAUSE THEY IDOLISE THE ARTIST IN THIS GENRE E.G BEYONCE
• THE TARGET AUDIENCE OF THE IS ALSO BECAUSE IT WILL INVOLVE A LOT OF FASHION AND SYNERGY
• WE WILL DEMONSTRATE THE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ARTISTS THROUGH THE COSTUMES AND EDITING OF THE PHOTO,
THE COSTUMES WILL BE DARK COLOURED AND BRANDED, AS WELL AS THIS THERE WILL BE A LOT OF ACCESSORIES
